Cosmogenic Nuclide Laboratory and Geomorphology Research Group

Use this page to enter data into the Cosmolab database

Field information - Includes images,
notes, location, and GPS data. Data must be entered prior to sample
processing by the sample collector.

Quartz Preparation - Here we track
the progress of samples through the process of quartz extraction from
rocks and sediment including grinding, sieving, magnetic separation,
acid etching, and purity checking. Before samples can enter the clean
lab for extraction, they must be cleared for purity using this page.
These data are entered by the person making the quartz.

Quartz ICP data - This is where
we enter the ICP data from measurements of solutions derived from the
dissolution of small amounts of quartz. These data must be entered by
the person making quartz before samples can be cleared for
analysis.

Sample ICP data - This is where
we enter the ICP data from aliquots of samples taken during quartz
dissolution for 10-Be extraction. These data are entered by the person
doing the ICP analysis.

In-situ Be Extraction - Here we
enter the mass measurements made during the extraction of Be and Al from
quartz. These data are entered by the person doing the
chemistry.

Meteoric Be Extraction - Here we
enter the mass measurements made during the extraction of Be from
sediments. These data are entered by the person doing the
chemistry.

Sample Publication - This
entry form allows us to link samples and their data to publications.
These data are entered by the person writing the paper or the lab
technician or lab director.

Sample Inventory - Here we
record the information about what quantities and grain sizes of
already-processed samples remain in storage and how to find this
material in our storage facility. These data are entered by the person
making the quartz after that process is complete and the samples have
been packed for storage.
